Can I bring a thermos into the parks?”

Hi Alene!

I'm so happy to help you with your final preparations for your trip. You've carefully planned your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, made your reservations to ensure you have the perfect itinerary and now it's just time to have fun! Be sure to download the My Disney Experience mobile app to manage all of your plans during your vacation.

Guests are welcome to bring outside food and drinks into the theme parks, provided that you do not bring any glass containers or any outside alcohol. So this means you can bring many thermal insulating containers into the theme parks, as long as they don't have a glass core. In fact, I bring stainless steel bottles for my kids that I fill with complimentary ice water from quick service restaurants to help them stay hydrated in the Florida heat. Keep in mind that your backpack or cooler cannot be any larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" wide. You can take a look at the complete Walt Disney World Resort Park Rules for additional information.

Here's sending you extra pixie dust in hopes that you have an absolutely incredible Walt Disney World Resort vacation! And as always, let us know if we can help you with any additional questions. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!

Hi! I’m Crystal and I’m a wife and mommy to two little Mouseketeers. My husband and I have been enjoying Disney Parks since before we were married, and now we take our children to see Mickey and the gang as often as we can, while managing my oldest son's food allergies. Planning is key for my family to ensure that everyone has a safe and fun trip to our favorite place and it can be just as exciting as the trip itself.
